    Fuel suggestions

    Yes. And in my theoretical example the fuel stayed in the region that it was refined. Only the ownership got swapped around. All I am saying is that fuel like any open traded commodity can get sold and resold blended and mixed many times from manufacture to end use. Of course they only mix...

    Yeah. I think Chevron Techron cleaner is better. Not sure why I think that, but I do.

    Fuel suggestions

    Regarding fuel. I used to work with the local fuel delivery system, mainly by pipeline. There are two tank farms in town. All brands of gas deliver fuel to their stations from the same storage tanks. They add the ethanol, brand name cleaners and other additives while the delivery truck...

    Fuel suggestions

    I have considered using regular, in my high octane cars/trucks, on cross country trips as PeteK mentioned above. However, at that instant for some reason that I really feel the need for full power, I am afraid that at that split second, I will forget about the low octane and romp on it. The...

    Bye for now

    Ah, now think about this before you make rash regrettable decisions. You cannot possibly pack all her stuff up in a couple of minutes. Give it at least a couple of hours to do a proper once-and-done clear out job. Boy...this makes me really appreciate my mostly supportive beautiful wife.

    Mcintosh Amp repair

    So if capacitors seem to be a common problem.... I have had caps short internally and actually blow them open. Look closely at all the electronic components. A resistor or cap often times will look discolored or burnt or otherwise different, if bad. If so, replace it, easy to do. Sometimes...

    Fuse Box Diagram

    This is interesting to follow. Can you change the title from "Fuse Box Diagram" to maybe "Prototype Lithium Main Battery"? Advancing from not being able to find a simple fuse to designing and programming the operation of a prototype lithium battery definitely gets you the "Most Improved" award.

    Coolant Drain

    Well, what ever makes you feel good. HA!! I have gone 15 years on iron block classic cars driven 500 - 1000 miles per year. The drained coolant looked near new, which means no corrosion. I suppose with all aluminum blocks and components, you may be able to go indefinitely if driven little. I...

    wind noise

    WD40 is made of petroleum products. Petroleum products soak into and deteriorate most rubber products. I would assume the door seals are a rubber product. Meguiars No. 40 works great on rubber, vinyl and plastic products. Great to detail everything on the interior except leather. I have not...
